We recently had the opportunity to build an Eitech Beginner Solar Set Helicopter/Aircraft Construction Set. I was really excited for my daughter to try, because it’s not something she has done before. Normally, it’s all dolls and dress up, but I think an educational toy that is designed to encourage learning through building, how-to, while teaching [...]

Happy Hanukkah – Merry Christmas – Happy Kwanzaa from our family to yours!

We celebrated my daughter’s 2nd birthday last weekend with my mom, father-in-law and his wife, and my sister-in-law and her husband.
